UK Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Matt Hancock
said the government is weighing the addition of warning labels to social
media sites indicating the sites can be harmful, Business Insider
reports, citing his address to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport
Committee about fake news. Hancock, who said the government isn't
ruling out legislation to deal with fake news, said the government will
consider warning labels that would notify social media users of the
risks of the sites as part of its internet safety strategy.
Publicly-traded companies in the space include Facebook (FB), Twitter
(TWTR) and Google (GOOG, GOOGL). [Reference
